Profile:Expected to play a big role in shaping the future of Western Australian cricket, Marcus North is an exciting young batsman and handy off-spin bowler. A well-organised left hander, he has already enjoyed significant success at underage level, having been a member of several Australian Cricket Academy and national junior sides and having been invited to the Academy as one of its elite full-time scholars in 1998. He is particularly well remembered for a remarkable double of 200 and 134 in a match at Sheikhupura, during an Australian Youth team's tour of Pakistan in early 1997. His debut at first-class level came in 1998-99 on an Academy tour of Zimbabwe, and he quickly showcased his potential upon his elevation to senior interstate ranks the following season, hitting a brave 60 to help his team to a tense win over South Australia. In subsequent matches, he has continued to perform impressively, albeit that he has occasionally been a victim of experimentation as his state's selectors have tried to identify the position in the batting order to which he is best suited. In the wake of Tom Moody's retirement, and with the increasing inclusion in national teams of Damien Martyn and Simon Katich, though, it's likely that the hurdle will soon be overcome and that North will be able to carve a permanent niche in the Warriors' middle order. He times the ball exquisitely, is an accurate albeit underutilised slow bowler, and has lightning reflexes in the field. (John Polack, September 2001)© 2001 CricInfo Ltd |
